Just adding to the useless posts...

I wish Apple would have made it clear what they mean by 'ships by 14th October'. Either use 'delivered by' or 'Dispatched by instead'

I really don't care...I just want to see my status shipped and I can wait till Monday - Tuesday or next Friday! All I want is to know that I will soon have it for sure!
 
it's purposefully ambiguous, so that they're not held accountable for any delays. But it means the plan is to get it to us on Friday :)
 
Just got "Preparing Shipment" status for my order. CC got credited today as well. I ordered from UK store.

Just getting very excited now:D
 
Hi All,
I can't tell you how hyper I am, this is my first iPhone I'm using a 5 year old Sony Ericson at the moment. Do you think I'll see much difference lol

Greg

I am very confident that after a few hours with your new iPhone you will be saying, how did I ever get on without an iPhone before? This phrase I have heard so many times from iPhone users, whatever phone they had before. Enjoy your iPhone, it truly is a great phone.:D
 
Got confirmation at 12:40pm on Friday.
Ordered 32GB Black 4S. Still says processing. Will post back when it changes.
 
"preparing for shipment", my confirmation email is stamped 9.50AM (received at more like 11.50 from what I remember).

Ha! Thats it make me even more excited, I'm not going to sleep now. Its like Santa's coming. I'm afraid to leave the house now till it arrives.

I have to say its been a bit of a nightmare though sorting through sim only tariffs trying to figure out what deals the best etc

I'm on O2 at the moment sim only but the scabby phone I've got doesn't have internet access so ummed and arred about how much data to get.

I've order a giff gaff micro sim off a member on here a few days ago but it hasn't shown up yet and a sim from Three.

Giff Gaff looks cheapest to me 10 quid/month for I think 300 mins unlimited text and unlimited data

Three is cheaper on PAYG 15 quid/month gets about the same I think but for some bizarre reason its 25 quid on pay monthly :-/

I just want it to be a nice internet connection and not have to worry about the cost really. O2's data costs are mental expensive an extra tenner for 1gb. Mad.

Any of you guys know how these 2 networks perform data wise. I know giff gaff will have a signal for voice because I'm on o2 and it the same carrier just wondering what the Download speeds are like etc

Sorry long post, mega excited!

Greg
 
Sorry if this advice comes a bit late for some of you, but:

RULE NUMBER ONE:

When pre-ordering something like this, NEVER order anything else at the same time (e.g. docks, bumpers, USB adapters). It's just asking for your order to get delayed because the second, trivial thing isn't in stock yet.

Hope you're all lucky though.
 
Ordered before 9, didn't get my confirmation email until 22:07 that evening.

Still on processing, but first orders on the lorry will be the last off ;)
 
ordered 8:41am on 7th October UK Apple Store.

Received confirmation e-mail at 9:22am.

Now its a Preparing for Shipment. :eek:
 
yeah, I get all this

the point is, I have been analysing the AT&T thread, and they seem to have on average shorter posts, so why .....

----------

... don't we split out posts into 2, and therefore beat AT&T

its got to work :cool:
